This package is failing to build from source in current sid due to a
test failure with libnet-oauth-perl_0.33-1.

  Cannot verify: no acceptable signature method has been stated. Pass allowed_signature_methods => [...] to this message, or set @Net::OAuth::ALLOWED_SIGNATURE_METHODS, naming the method or methods this party expects. Verifying with the method the message itself names would let the sender choose the algorithm, and so the key at t/10_net-twitter-regression.t line 137.
  # Tests were run but no plan was declared and done_testing() was not seen.
  # Looks like your test exited with 2 just after 36.

  Result: FAIL
  Failed 1/38 test programs. 0/2946 subtests failed.

This also happens with autopkgtest checks, so it is currently preventing
libnet-oauth-perl testing migration.

https://ci.debian.net/packages/libn/libnet-twitter-perl/testing/amd64/74535344/

I assume the change in libnet-oauth-perl is intentional and
libnet-twitter-perl needs to adapt. Feel free to reassign of course if
this is not the case.

That's annoying.
is archived since 2025, and I believe it also doesn't work anymore
with the changes of the Twitter API (or is at least useless with the
changes to the old Twitter API).

Unfortunately it has 1 reverse dependency:
libdist-zilla-plugin-twitter-perl.

Still, I guess we should just remove both packages …
